Once I started making it at home with leftover grilled chicken, we needed the drive-through much less often. At just $2.19 per serving compared to $8 to $9 at the restaurant, the savings really add up when feeding a family of eight.

Ingredients
- Grilled chicken breasts — the star of the wrap. This is the perfect recipe for leftover grilled chicken — slice into strips right before assembling. Rotisserie chicken works as the fastest option. See our Grilled Chicken Breast Recipes for the best from-scratch method
- Leaf lettuce leaves — fresh crisp leaf lettuce gives the most authentic Cool Wrap texture. Romaine works as the closest substitute. Always use whole leaves rather than shredded for the best wrap structure
- Shredded Monterey Jack and cheddar cheese — the classic Cool Wrap cheese blend. A pre-shredded Mexican blend works as a quick substitute. Always use real shredded cheese rather than processed for the best flavor
- Flaxseed flour flatbread — the key copycat ingredient. Mission Carb Balance Flaxseed Flour Tortillas are the closest match to Chick-fil-A’s flatbread. Whole wheat tortillas work as a substitute but give a slightly different result

How to Make Chick-Fil-A Cool Wrap
Step 1 – Prepare Chicken for Wrap – Cut the grilled juicy chicken breasts into strips on a cutting board.
Step 2 – Start adding ingredients to Flat Bread – Lay out 1 piece of the flat bread. Top it with a fresh mix of green leaf lettuce, shredded cheese and sliced chicken strips.
Step 3 – Wrap up the ingredients – Wrap tight, cut in half and serve with your favorite type of dressing. I love serving this wrap with Avocado Ranch Lime Dressing.
Best Dressings for Chick-Fil-A Wrap
The right dressing is what takes this from a basic chicken wrap to a genuine copycat — here are the best options:
Avocado Ranch Lime Dressing — blend 1 ripe avocado with ¼ cup ranch dressing 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice and a pinch of salt until smooth. This is the closest match to the Chick-fil-A house dressing and the one our family uses every single time.
Classic Ranch — store-bought ranch dressing is the quickest option and works beautifully with the chicken and Monterey Jack cheese.
Honey Mustard — the most popular Chick-fil-A dipping sauce and one that pairs perfectly with grilled chicken in a flatbread wrap.
Light Italian — the most authentic Chick-fil-A Cool Wrap dressing choice — the restaurant serves it with a zesty light Italian on the side.
Avocado Lime Ranch — mix store-bought avocado ranch with a squeeze of fresh lime for the quickest version of the homemade dressing.
Tips for Success
- Always use room temperature chicken. Cold chicken straight from the refrigerator makes the wrap feel heavy and less fresh — let leftover chicken sit for 10 minutes before slicing
- Warm the flatbread slightly. 10–15 seconds in the microwave makes the flatbread more pliable and easier to roll without cracking
- Do not overfill. The most common wrap failure is too much filling — use the amounts in the recipe and the wrap will roll tightly and stay together when cut
- Wrap tightly and cut on the diagonal. A tight wrap cut at a 45-degree angle gives you the most impressive presentation and prevents the filling from falling out
Variations and Substitutions
- Use rotisserie chicken for the fastest possible prep — shred or slice directly from the bird with zero cooking required
- Swap Monterey Jack and cheddar for pepper jack for a spicier version
- Add sliced avocado or guacamole for a more filling wrap
- Use grilled buffalo chicken for a spicy Cool Wrap variation — see our Grilled Buffalo Chicken recipe
- Use a whole wheat tortilla if flaxseed flatbread is unavailable — the result is slightly different but still delicious Add diced tomatoes or red onion for extra fresh toppings
What To Serve with Grilled Chicken Wrap
- Fruit
- Chips
- Salad
- Soup
Storage Instructions
Best served fresh — assembled wraps are best eaten immediately while the flatbread is pliable and the lettuce is crisp.
Leftover chicken — store sliced grilled chicken separately in an airtight container for up to 3–4 days. Assemble wraps fresh each time using the pre-sliced chicken for the fastest possible lunch prep.
Assembled wrap — wrap tightly in plastic wrap and refrigerate for up to 1 day. The flatbread will soften slightly but the wrap is still delicious cold the next day.
